Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said she is “leaning no” on a GOP plan to repeal parts of the Affordable Care Act.

The Graham-Cassidy bill would undo major elements of Barack Obama's health care law and send block grants to states instead. It would also get rid of the individual mandate and let insurers raise prices for people with serious medical conditions.

“I’m leaning no, certainly, but I am still evaluating the bill and its text,” Collins told ABC News on Tuesday. “We haven’t had it for very long and it’s difficult to do without the assistance of the Congressional Budget Office.”

The Senate must act on the bill by Sept. 30 or face a certain Democratic filibuster.Collins introduced her own bill Tuesday.

The Reinsurance Act of 2017 “would provide states with the flexibility and support they need to create state-based reinsurance programs for their individual health insurance markets,” her office said. Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson, of Florida, is a cosponsor.
